Bean seems to have an unspoken rule that he tries to capture every time I suffer putting in skin tracks up steep slopes or thick glades (see above). So I've created my own rule of taking lots of pictures of me drinking beers with his fiancé.

Would it be worth it to go up there and get started practicing skinning up stuff, or should I wait for real snow? And how does it look right now?

Agree with Bean - definitely not worth it. I'm just crazy in the head. Don't know if you can see this photo or not, but you can see the snow behind me. It's very dirty and badly snow-cupped, and only about 325' vert of skiing: St. Mary's ski
